Biography
Pius D'Alessio was born in 1906 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Italian immigrants; like a few of his other brothers, he was named after a pope. D'Alessio was involved with crime from a young age, joining his brothers' gang. Pius D'Alessio robbed Atlantic City alderman George O'Neill on the boardwalk in 1920, and O'Neill was able to identify him to Treasurer Enoch Thompson from the picture on his criminal record. Thompson discovered D'Alessio's location from Arnold Rothstein through Lucky Luciano, and Richard Harrow was sent to assassinate D'Alessio. Pius was found in a warehouse with several barrels, and he backed into a few of them, attempting to load a revolver. However, Harrow shot him dead with a shotgun.
